COVID-19 inspired!

lyrics

Quiet is the place / you left on the pillow / Gentle is the grace / of neck and life and limb / Shelter here in place / but put your trust in me, Love / Gone is the past / May it never come again / Gullies deep with moss / a flock of oak between them / Sink in to the green / of all that been before / Hollow my heart / and let me be among them / Come too near / find me holding on / Comfort cool as marble / Stranger in your midst / Welcome to the marvel /of Survival of the fittest / Keep away from Saturn / in this house of cards / Run around with heathens / Sleep out in the yard/ It's planetary rhythm that's got you by the hand / Driving you to ruin / playing with the end /But all you ever needed of everything is here / Color in your mind, Man / Shelter without fear
